[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is an African penguin at the Living Coast in Torquay, I think he was a bit of a show off as he had been floating around on his back on his front splashing the water with his flippers. The African penguin makes a noise very much like that of a donkey. They are one of the smaller penguins and Living Coasts have nearly 100 on penguin beach.

Thanks to all who view and comment on my pictures.

Hi Andy,

A noise like a donkey? That would be pretty scary if you were in the water and one of these came up behind you! I like how you have frozen the water. He looks like he is having fun.

Nice water details too.... with the ripples going out in a circle shape.

Lisa :D

i saw once this penguin in a large aquarium in kl zoo.. but that time i was not interested in photography..

beautiful entry, Andy.. it such a joy to see this little one enjoying his 'floating' and bathing.. tfs..

regards, terry

Hiya Andy

A nice capture here with good sharpstop action detail and nice natural colours too. I like the balance here with space for him to "play"

TFS and for joining in the theme

Kind regards Helen
